 The President then presented his annual report as follows To the Pope Co.,. Sunday School Association:
 In making this, my annual report, it is my delight to note the progress our Sunday school cause has made. We find to-day a greater interest being manifested on the part of parents and children in the noble work than ever before. And the Bible truths taught in our Sunday schools are having such an influence, that many are being led to the foot of the Cross, there, finding rest in Jesus, and becoming workers for his cause. l am glad to see this, and it should encourage all who have labored so long in the Sunday school cause. Therefore, let us redouble our energies and push forward with re- newed zeal the grand cause of our bless ed Master, knowing our labors are not in vain-that the fruits thereof will be garnered in the home of the good.
 Let us strive to harmonize our delib- erations that brotherly love may abound, realizing how pleasant and how good it is for brethren to dwell together in unity, eyer keeping in view, the grand object for which we are assem- bled. In selecting our officers for an- other year, select those who love and fear God, and who are willing to labor for His cause in our Sunday schools.
 May the power and influence of Gods love permeate our hearts this morning, and may we continually rest in Him, that we may go forward teaching the truths of the gospel to the children, and to all with whom we may associ- ate. They seeing the beauties and grandure thereof, may be awakened, sue for pardon and find peace in the atoning merits of our Crucified One.
 Respectfully,
 D. c. BROWN, Pres.
